it is the lack of model answers / explanation. that's what's hard.
i mean...
the UMAT people... provide model answers. and explanations. so you learn how to reason the way they do. chemistry does that, too. and physics. at least a little bit of the time. reasons through whatever it is that they are teaching you do do... and so... if you are being tested on lecture notes / powerpoint slides / textbook readings / lecture presentations... they should be able to draw your attention to where it occurred on the lecture notes / powerpoint slides / textbook readings / lecture presentations...
so you can go - 'oh. i see i should have learned that. but i didn't. fair question. i will be more careful in my study next time'.
i think i should just move on.
i did quite well at tech... i mean, i know that the distribution is different there because you get more kids who don't study / can't read etc... though, actually, i'm starting to see that that isn't necessarily true... but objectively... with respect to getting the answers that should have been got. and ditto psychology over the years. so... i suppose i should just put this behind me.
think of it as the last vestige of tech, or whatever. i suppose it is, really. i suppose they do think of the class that way.
